Can we get a do over please?! The directing in this movie sucks. The kids and I were like the little robots on MST3K during the whole movie. The directing was so bad we couldn't stop commenting on it and watch the darn movie. If Rob Taipert or Joss Wheadon directed it with the exact same cast it would have been one of the hottest female action films around. This director didn't capitalize on Rachel's striking beauty and her physical ability to do the stunts. Her character is very Xena and Buffy like with a dash of Linda Hamilton. The story was OK and entertaining. I don't blame her and the other actors for the "average" acting and schizophrenic photography. It was the director's fault. It's almost as if he had ADD or something. Amatuer. And where's the really cool outfit Rachel was wearing on the cover of the video box? I think all the cries for nudity would be quelled if they just put her in that outfit with scenes where you could really take in her looks and expressions. CAN WE PLEASE DO THIS MOVIE OVER AGAIN WITH A REAL DIRECTOR?!
About Average... Raven Hawk was a bit of a disappointment, considering the makeup of the cast: John de Lancie (Star Trek's Q) and Mitch Pileggi (Walter Skinner from the X-Files) among others. The film brings to the screen the story of an Indian girl whose parents were murdered by agents of a large coorperation, which wanted to build a nuclear waste disposal plant inside an Indian reservation. If that wasn't enough they framed the girl and had her convicted of her parents' deaths. In short, the acting is about average, the dialogues are below average, while the plot is above average and quite interesting; the common denominator being "average." Some of the reviewers were expecting nudity and were let down resulting in quite a few low review scores. To that, one has to add the poor dialogues and the bad choice of lines that many of the actors were given: "She remained primitively tied to her Indian culture." No comment is required on the use (or misuse) of the word "primitive" here. As for the rating, it's not really R-Rated material as it is PG-13; no sex, not too much violence, very little blood. In a nutshell, Raven Hawk is a low budget film and it clearly shows. It's an okay movie, and that's about it; No masterpiece here...
Great action heroine This movie was great! The storyline was excellent and very true-to-world. Rachel McLish, was superb! She didn't say much, however... she didn't need to. Actions speak louder than words.
I love muscular women: this movie was a let-down. I am an admirer of buff and muscular women, which is why I bought this movie. Ravenhawk did not deliver the goods for me. Besides being a bad movie, there is nothing that capitalizes on Ravenhawk's beautiful muscles and wonderful build.
There is only one scene where you get to see the very beautiful and muscular hero flex her ripped back, and it's brief. In addition, it's from the back and during the night, as she stands near a fire.
This movie would be better if it featured her beating up much smaller and weaker men with her bare hands. It could also be improved if there was nudity, and scenes that concentrated on her flexing and working out.
This movie isn't revealing at all. I recommend Skin Deep (staring John Ridder) for a scene involving a very ripped female bodybuilder.
Sorry fellow lovers of ripped and buff babes.
This movie does not offer Amazon appeal. I bought this movie because I find muscular women attractive and exotic. This movie featured a very fit character, named Ravinhawk, but it did not meet my needs.
There is only one scene where the beautiful Ravenhawk flexes her muscles, and it's breif. Moreover, her back is turned and it's during the night, so you don't get a very good look at her sexy back.
There is no nudity, and the movie is poorly made. The story seems unbelievable, and does not really come full circle. Scenes where she beats up much smaller and weaker men with her bare hands would have made this movie much better.
Don't buy this movie if you want to see a lot of female muscles. Sorry guys, it's a let down that way. I recommend Skin Deep for those needs, though that's only a breif scene too, but it's revealing.
